Hiv type 1 western blot
Still confused?? How does a hiv type 1 western blot detect hiv type 2? If I had a negative hiv type 1 western blot how does it rule out type 2? I was advised that it does here on this forum but I'm confused? I was told that it can't distinguish between the two so is it because of cross reacting? Thx
No prob Teak... Just trying to understand. Thx for your time.
What did I tell you yesterday, we aren't going to go over it again.
Even if the western blot was designed for hiv type 1?
Because if you were positive for HIV 2 you wouldn't get a negative western blot.
